Haifa, Israel´s 3rd largest city and northern capital is the heart of it all! Situated in a broad natural bay between the beautiful Mediterranean Sea and the inspiring Carmel Mountain, Haifa´s terraced landscape offers a rich variety of breathtaking panoramas, giving an observer the sensation of being on a heavenly peninsula. To the Northeast, across the sparkling waters of the harbor sits the medieval walled fortress city of Acre. Directly North are the heights of Rosh Hanikra, the white cliff, checkpoint of the Israel-Lebanon border. Further East towers the snow capped peak of Mount Hermon. Nazareth - place where Jesus grew up, studied, and lived most of his life. Nazareth, for 2000 years, has been closely identified with Christianity and has attracted hundreds of millions of pilgrims from around the world. Nazareth is also Israel’s largest Arab city and as such serves as a major cultural center. Over the past decade the historical Old City has been extensively renovated, preserving and restoring the architectural beauty and unique character of its narrow lanes and alleys.
